Test failure appears to be unrelated.

These failures are not related to this PR but it cannot be merged until they are resolved. #311 contains a bit of context.

Query: What backports will be required for this change?

It depends on the consumers. Golang-crossbuild follows the Golang versioning, only one minor version is supported. For instance, 1.21.1 is the latest so 1.20 is the last supported minor.

Query: What backports will be required for this change?

If you need this change in an existing Golang version, then it might be required to create a new branch following the naming <x>.<y>.<z>.X for instance https://github.com/elastic/golang-crossbuild/tree/1.17.5.x is the one that changed the golang-crossbuild version 1.17.5

And then backport the change using @mergifyio backport x.y.z.X , so when merged the new docker images will be in place containing the new changes

OK, thanks. This will only be for children of beats main (with no backports), which is at go1.20.8, so no backport other that go1.20 will be needed.

@alexsapran and @pazone Would you mind taking a look please.

I'm afraid I didn't explain this correctly. golang-crossbuild:1.20.8 has been already released. Hence it cannot be changed unless using the above-mentioned branch strategy.

If this PR is merged and backported to 1.20 then this change won't be available until 1.20.9. Then, Beats will need to use that version or above.

If you need this change to be in golang-crossbuild:1.20.8 then, it's required to branch off 1.20.8.x and backport this change so the docker images for golang-crossbuild:1.20.8 can be recreated.

NOTE: this is the reason we created https://github.com/elastic/golang-crossbuild/tree/1.17.5.x , so #148 could be available in 1.17.5

I understand, this is a corner case ,that we have not needed in the past, but with ncap we came up with this strategy.

[efd6]

OK. That's a lot of rigmarole. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for trying to understand my writing! To help with, let me ask you this:

• do you need this change in 1.20.8.
• O can you wait for 1.20.9 or 1.21.2?

If the former, then we need all that craziness. If the latter, then there is a need to request the Beats team to use 1.20.9 or 1.21.2 when golang-crossbuild provides those versions (likely in 3 weeks or so)

[efd6]

I don't know what the time frame for a go1.20.9 is (Beats doesn't build with go1.21 yet). I guess it is likely to be before 8.11, so we could wait. It's not a wildly friendly system though.

I can happily help with and make some notes so whoever needs to do this in the future can follow them. For doing so, let me know and merge this PR please :)

I'm unable to merge this; it is still waiting for a review from @alexsapran.

Sorry for that, I saw @pazone gave the 👍🏼 and I thought it was enough.
